Coronary Slow Flow and No‐Reflow During Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Contemporary Insights Into Imaging‐Guided Prediction, Prevention, and Management

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 107, Issue 4, Page 1198-1205, March 1, 2026.
ABSTRACT Coronary slow flow (SF) and no‐reflow (NR) are clinically significant complications of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), particularly in ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and saphenous vein graft (SVG) interventions. Angiographically defined as impaired myocardial perfusion despite restored epicardial patency, SF/NR ...
